摘要

Over the last two centuries, India has experienced numerous natural calamities and disasters, including floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and cyclones, resulting in huge loss of lives and destruction of habitable spaces. In such cases, the efficiently built structures play a pivotal role in monitoring the resilience toward disaster through minimizing the causalities associated. In recent times, there are diverse innovations toward prefabricated structures as a desirable strategy to overcome the post-disaster damages. The paper discusses the efficiency of post-disaster prefabricated modular and mobile (P2M2) structures, providing an earthquake and cyclone-resistant post-disaster housing in lesser budget and time. Having a life span of approximately 20 years, P2M2 structures are sufficient enough to sustain the inhabitants physically and economically. The study focuses on the various cases of disaster resilience structures implemented in various parts of India. Further the study evaluates the features of modular construction and material system, user experiences and technological advancements that provide time-efficient and economically feasible solutions. Similarly, the designed P2M2 structure offers cost-effective and resilient housing solutions for post-disaster populations and can also be utilized to generate revenue by its implementation in commercialized zones due to their portability, collapsibility, and ease of management. Utilizing locally sourced materials including industrial waste, plastics, fiber waste, and electronic waste, these structures can be constructed easily without the need for skilled labor. Through the analysis, it is concluded that the utilization of P2M2 structures would reduce time constraints and its design is formulated to be adaptive and universal to various disaster-prone regions of India. Additionally the utilization of local materials, plastic and other pollutants in an effective way for the structure enables recyclable and sustainable urban development for tomorrow.
